How to load GIF image from drawable folder into ImageView using glide?

Question

I have to show load GIF image from drawable to ImageView using glide.I have tried with following.

Glide.with(LoginActivity.this)
                .load(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.bg_gif)).asGif()
                .crossFade()
                .into(relativeLayout);

But isn't seem working and it's working when I'm place image in raw folder.but the problem is I have to use different dimension images.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You can try to use Ion it works fine for me. Ion

Using Ion

 Ion.with(imgView)
.error(R.drawable.default_image)
.animateGif(AnimateGifMode.ANIMATE)
.load("file:///android_asset/animated.gif");

Using Glide

ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView);
GlideDrawableImageViewTarget imageViewTarget = new GlideDrawableImageViewTarget(imageView);
Glide.with(this).load(R.raw.sample_gif).into(imageViewTarget);

Another Approach

For Glide 3.0 you need to set asGif() earlier:

Glide.with(context)
    .load(imageUrl)
    .asGif()
    .placeholder(R.drawable.loading2)
    .crossFade()
    .into(imageView);

Keep in mind that just using load() will load either a GIF or a Bitmap depending on the type of the data. Unless you want your load to fail if the given url is not a gif, you don't need to specify asGif()

Answer 2

Just pass the resource id directly to load():

Glide.with(LoginActivity.this)
            .load(R.drawable.bg_gif)
            .asGif()  // you may not need this
            .crossFade()
            .into(relativeLayout);
